The lieutenant colonel's troops all wore white clothes, white fashion, plain armor, and plain feathers as a gift, and looked upon them as if they were tea.

Fifty more knights in white attire appeared in sight. They gathered together and escorted a veteran.

Seeing this, Lu Li and Lu Bu, who were standing on a high place overlooking the other side of the Fen River, immediately stopped talking, jumped on their horses, and greeted them personally.

North bank of Fen River.

Ding Yuan glanced at his side. There were more than 10,000 soldiers crossing the river. Even if the bridge was built in advance, it would still take two hours to reach the other side. However, he did not want to wait at all and greeted his guards:

"Quick, let's cross the ice."

Just like this, fifty war horses galloped at the same time, their hooves stepping on the solid ice, bringing up strands of ice shavings.

The sound of hoofbeats is rapid.

Because the north wind blew up snow and dust to block sight, ordinary soldiers could only see clearly what was within ten steps. Although the guards were brave, they did not understand the spirit of fighting and could only see up to thirty steps.

Therefore, they sent Ding Yuan off to each other carefully. Even if the lord said that he would go first, Meng and Ming were galloping to meet each other. There was no need to do so. The leader still did not dare to relax his vigilance and order his warriors to disperse.

A horse was coming towards me.

Lu Li frowned, but before he could speak, the white knight shouted, "Who is coming?"

As they belong to the same army and have fought side by side, Lu Li naturally would not blame the other party and responded loudly: "It's me! Pioneer Officer Lu Li."

"Lu Bu."

The Pathfinder Knight heard the voices of the two of them, especially Lu Li. When they raided the Huns' rear camp that night, whenever the sound of "camp robber, Taiyuan Lu Mengming" was heard, there would be a shower of blood.

Therefore, the guard sheathed his sword, shouted at the reins, turned the horse's head, and walked side by side with the two of them, "General, the Lord is on his way in a hurry, I think he will arrive soon."

"Maybe there will be an accident along the way?"

"When we encounter enemy spies, we have captured them all."

Sure enough, the Yellow Turban thieves have penetrated throughout Bingzhou, and their spies are everywhere.

But the master is very experienced and should not leak the news, Lu Li thought to himself while riding on the horse.

Fenshui is thousands of miles long and is the second largest tributary of the Yellow River. The river surface alone is four to five miles wide.

However, in the blink of an eye, the two groups of people met.

Nothing easy to discuss.

During the time when Lu Bu was guarding Jinyang, he had figured out the enemy's situation and would send messengers to inform Ding Yuan every day. As for the battle plan, he had already informed the generals beforehand.

Battle!

Concentrate the main force and engage in a decisive battle with the enemy near Wenshui. The outcome will be determined in one battle.

…

At midnight, midnight.

Wenshui City is brightly lit.

The county government office where matters were discussed earlier was once again crowded with generals from various Yellow Turban ministries, but this time there were two new faces.

Because of Du Quan, Zhou Tian brought 50,000 cavalry to support, so the two of them were treated with courtesy by Guo Tai and sat near the top.

With the war approaching, the atmosphere became extremely solemn.

Even if they had gathered together not long ago to despise the enemy generals, at this time, they had to stay alert and constantly remind themselves that the battlefield situation was changing rapidly and they must not be arrogant.

At this time, a handsome young man stepped out from the crowd, kneeled on one knee and said:

"Master, none of the scouts arranged by the general to be north of Wenshui have returned."

Hearing this, Guo Tai's face froze, he nodded to show that he knew, and then turned his head to look at the person on the left.

"The general deserves to die!"

Seeing this, the man hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The scouts north of Fenshui have lost contact since yesterday. I thought it was due to heavy snow that blocked the mountains and delayed the journey..."

"There has been no snow in Bingzhou these days."

The Taoist sat next to Qu Shuai Guo Tai, his expression still calm, as if he was not involved.

Hearing this, Guo Tai's expression relaxed and he actually smiled: "I don't know what trick old thief Ding Yuan used to make 20,000 infantry move thousands of miles in one day."

Seeing the guru looking like he has a winning chance, many timid people feel a little more at ease.

"Even if all the county soldiers returning from the north are riding thousands-li horses, they must be exhausted now."

"And the old thief's move is undoubtedly to catch us off guard. He doesn't care whether his soldiers are capable of fighting."

After hearing this, Zhou Tian and Du Quan, who came with the guest army to help the battle, knew that this battle must be fought. After all, the Yellow Turban Army was too ambitious and wanted to overthrow the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Judging from the current situation, wouldn't it be a good idea to find a remote place to live in the wilderness?

You know, when all kinds of natural disasters come down, the imperial court can no longer hold on. As long as the Emperor Ling dies next year and the young master is in doubt, then he goes out to rebel, not to mention that he can conquer the Central Plains in one fell swoop and swallow up the two states.

Not difficult.

It's a pity that I can't persuade him at all.

As the saying goes, good words can't persuade a damned person, and mercy can't save others. So the two simply didn't open their mouths, as long as they got the Book of Heaven as they wished——

It would be good to go out of the city to attack in case of victory. If they were defeated, they had already thought of their retreat in advance:

He immediately took 500 Xiongnu elites with him, and some of the traitorous Han troops retreated to Shilou. If Ding originally wanted to kill them all, he would not rely on the city to hold on. This is completely a mantis's arm and a chariot, directly using the Qiang territory to flee to Mobei, where

Annex some small tribes, strengthen your own strength, wait until the news has passed, then return to the Central Plains to participate in the Hulao Pass to challenge Dong, and become the 19th prince.

Secret skill: Repeated horizontal jumps!

Thinking of this, the two of them looked at each other, suppressed the excitement in their hearts, looked at their nose and nose, and pretended to be a wooden man.

"The worst-case scenario now is that the North and South armies have merged into one place."

"And Ding Yuan, the old thief, is very angry. He is definitely not willing to let his soldiers rest. I'm afraid a surprise attack will take place tonight."

Guo Tai was worthy of being a veteran general on the battlefield because he knew the enemy's opportunity at the slightest hint. In a moment, he guessed that Ding Yuan had led his army across the Fen River, but the arrow was stuck on the string and had to be fired.

Make decisions in the morning and prepare soldiers in the evening.

Now, the 350,000 troops in the city are ready to go, and there is no room for any retreat.

Because of this, Guo Tai stood up and gave the last reassurance to his generals:

"A tired teacher will eventually lose his energy."

"The enemy troops are fighting for a long distance, and they are holding their breath in their hearts. Therefore, they will definitely burst out with amazing combat power when they first come into contact, but as time goes by, they will definitely lose their stamina."

"We are lying in ambush on the south bank of Wenshui River, waiting for work and withstanding the early offensive."

Du Quan buried his head and curled his lips in disdain.

This is true, but it is too optimistic.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, the two generals are each other's horns, and they are backed by tens of thousands of troops. What line of defense cannot be broken?

At three o'clock that night, Lu Li stood by the Wenshui River, with many thoughts in his heart:

When he first arrived in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he was preoccupied with thinking about how to avoid the war and go to Luoyang to embrace the situation. But now he actively participated in the general trend and stirred up the situation.

While I was thinking about it, a voice sounded.

"Meng Ming, Wen Yuan and his adoptive father should have arrived at the scheduled crossing point and probably started to cross the river."
Chapter completed!
